Duval Square Retreat

This was my first time using VRBO and I was a little nervous, but before and during our stay the management team was very helpful. I was pleasantly surprised with the place. Yeah, the decor is a little outdated or just different but who cares right? We didn't spend to much time inside, I saw on other reviews about the patio. We must have lucked out because the neighbor was not there, so we didn't have an issue with the closeness. The unit was spacious and very clean. The beds were comfortable. The second bedroom was very small and had very little storage for our things. The air conditioner didn't get very cool in the unit or the master bedroom so it kind of got stuffy. The kitchen needed a few more utensils for cooking and it did not have any dish clothes. Everything was in walking distance and we even rented a golf cart one day and we did some exploring. We would definitely come back and use the same rental company.

This condo was clean, comfortable and in a great location in Key West.

It was wonderful. Absolutely nothing wrong. We will definitely be back!!! Wonderful staff. They are very accommodating.

This unit is well laid out offering space for everyone. It was clean, convenient to everything and Joyce and everyone else that I had communication with from the time I booked it, made the process very smooth. One of the girls who stayed has already referred to a friend and I will definitely stay here again.

This condo was clean, comfortable and close to everything! If location is important to you, rent this condo.

Great rental property, very clean and lots of space. Kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed. Patio space is nice and cozy as well! Would definitely stay here again!

Spacious townhouse with upstairs bedrooms and covered one-vehicle parking. Everything worked and unit was well appointed and clean. Located at north end of Duval St and close to southernmost point.

Office staff was very friendly and helpful.. the unit was great had easy access to everything. Would definitely stay there again..

This is the perfect place to stay in Key West. We never used our car! The home is very well decorated and very comfortable.

If you want to be super close to all the action but still have peace/quiet when you get home, this condo is for you. Halfway between the southernmost point and the northern water so easy walk to EVERYTHING! No need to spend $ on a car.

The place itself is perfect for 2 couples. Great layout with bedrooms upstairs (each with own bathroom) and communal space downstairs. It's Bali-inspired décor was nice. As a previous guest mentioned, there are minor repairs needed here and there but they don't affect your stay.

We appreciated the washer/dryer and there is a CVS next door for any incidentals you forget.

Our checkin/out was super easy and we arrived after office hours but the process to retrieve keys, find reserved parking space, and get into the unit was all easy. And a few lights were on when we arrived which was nice to not fumble in the dark. The rental office is in same complex as unit so close by if you needed anything (which we didn't).

Great unit and even greater location; we could have very easily done without a car. Easy check in and out

Very nice, convenient.

Check in was pleasant and smooth. Location was perfect for enjoying the activity of Duval St. and then walking back to our place for peace and quiet. The condo was clean and well-decorated. It suited our needs perfectly.

We normally stay in one of the many hotels. This stay was in a condo at Duval Square. We will continue to stay in condos from here on out!! This condo was great, clean , well furnished, great location. 5 stars. Rent Key West was great to deal with also.

Beautiful place, great location, awesome service from the rental company. Definitely rent a golf cart. It is so fun zipping down the streets with the wind in your hair. We will be back!

The condo was great. Very clean and comfortable. The location near restaurants and shops was fantastic. Being on the quiet end of Duval was the best of both worlds. We hope to rent here every year!

What a great location....with a few restaurants just below the condo and the Circle K, you really dont even have to venture out, but of course we did!! Traveling with young children is not always easy, but our girls just Love Key West and loved the condo even the point that they cried when we had to leave...makes us want to own the condo!! We will be back for sure!!!

Enjoyed a great birthday weekend in this beautiful condo furnished with everything we could have needed. Located on the quieter end of Duval surrounded by reasturants, shopping and a salon. Lovely pool area on the second level above the hustle and bustle of Duval, the beach just a short walk away. Would absolutely stay here again.

Enjoyed the location very much. Just the right distance from the craziness, but still close enough to get to the action. The place was beautiful! Very well kept. It was also great to have the cart & scooter rental right across the street. We plugged in the electric car nightly. Great restaurants on the ground level. Loved it all!

We stayed at this very place two years ago and when we decided to return to Key West we checked availability and were extremely excited to find the dates we requested were open. Everything from the online services to the greeting in the rental office were exceptional and very professional, same as our first experience renting Duval Square Reatreat.

We really enjoyed our stay and were satisfied with the condition of the property and amenities.

My husband and I have stayed in a handful of places in Key West over the years, and Duval Square is our favorite, hands down. This property was very clean with a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The pool area is quiet and relaxing. I highly recommend staying here and eating at Square One which is located directly beneath the apartment complex. They have a great happy hour and awesome brunch.

The description of Duval Square Retreat as a beautiful condo steps from the action is true in every sense of the phrase. The condo was lovely and comfortable, and was located right in the heart of the action. This was great for us and our 22-year-old son. Very convenient--we walked nearly everywhere. Garage provided secure parking off the street. We would definitely stay here again.

Will definitely be back. Great location and love the condo. Hands down with your company

Duval Square Retreat was perfect for two couples seeking a warm quick getaway for a few days. It's perfectly located and surprisingly quiet considering it's off of Duval Square. Rent Key West was also great to deal with, making everything easy and pleasant.

We had a really wonderful time while staying at Duval Square on our vacation. The staff at Rent Key West was super accommodating and very friendly. The condo was nice and the beds weren't too bad. It was nice that each bedroom had it's own bathroom as well as the half bath on the 1st floor. The location was great, it was quiet, but not too far of a walk to get to all of the attractions. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

Spent a week during Spring Break this year. Located on the quiet end of Duval, but a short walk to the entire Duval Street Experience. Nice place to stay with full kitchen. Second year we have stayed at this complex and have been satisfied both times.

LOVELY UNIT! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We really enjoyed our stay at Duval Square.

Our condo was wonderful! We were very impressed, we had a few problems with dishwasher, toilet and TV, but the problems were fixed promptly.

We have stayed at the property location before. Property has always been clean and very secure!! Never had a problem and enjoy staying there, we will also stay again in the future.

We enjoyed our stay here very much. It was all that we expected and more.

It was a wonderful location. Everything was neat, clean and a great location. We hope to visit again and stay at Duval Square again.

The unit was very well-placed within easy walking distance of most attractions. Our place was clean and convenient. The furnishings were appropriate for a holiday unit. Minor problems: the linens did not fit the beds and there was no dust-buster for small pick-ups.

We had a wonderful trip. Loved the condo (a/c was very loud and bedrooms were warm at night) but everything else was wonderful!

Reception and check-in were friendly, courteous and professional. After all the searching, calling and emailing I had to do to find a place I could not have been more please with the overall experience. Thank you.

The location is in a quieter part of Duval but walking distance to may restaurants, bars, shops, and cafes. The condo was very clean and nicely decorated. We would definitely stay again!

From the first encounter at the wrong building (our misread)we were met by friendly, helpful, kind people at every stop. The Duval Square people were top notch- providing maps, keys, sights to visit, etc. Our accommodations and location were ideal for our needs. Quiet, central area, within easy walks to beaches, restaurants, historic sights, beautiful neighborhoods,the pool, and local transportation when needed. So comfortable to come "home" to our rental after our day of exploring Key West. Thank you Duval Square Retreat and thanks also to the late
Charles Kuralt, another treasure.

From beginning to end, Rent Key West was a great experience. The staff was professional but friendly and laid back, helpful. Based on the care given by the staff and the quality of the condo, I would recommend others who want to visit Key West and not worry about what they are going to end up with to go to Rent Key West with confidence.

The location of this condo on Duval Street is convenient to everything. We enjoyed the Asian decor and the pool when we needed to relax in the afternoon. It had all the amenities of home.

We had a delightful stay at Duval Square Retreat Jan 21-28 2013. Everyone in the rental office was very helpful in advising us on places to go and where to pick up food. The decor was great. We are readers and the only minor complaint was that the lighting did not lend itself well to reading. The condo was very well equipped. The location suited us since everything was within walking distance. We would definitely recommend this. It accomodated four adults easily.

This spur of the moment vacation getaway was perfect all around. The rental agent was kind, helpful and very knowledgable about the area. He made great suggestions that made our visit more pleasurable. The accommodations were found to be clean, comfortable and perfectly suited to our needs. As well as being nicely decorated, the location was exceptional as we were able to walk or bike to any place we were interested in going (beaches, dining, shopping...). I would highly recommend, and would consider for a return visit to Key West.
